Snacktastrophe struck early Tuesday morning when a truck carrying corn dogs hit a guardrail, and flipped over in Louisiana.

Almost all of the truck's corny contents spilled across the roadway, causing a major shutdown for motorists.

According to local news KTBS, officials estimate about 75,000 corn dogs spilled on the road. Interstate 220 west was closed for almost nine hours, from 3:40 a.m. until 12:30 p.m., during the cleanup.

Fortunately, everything not covered in cornmeal survived. The driver escaped the wreck unhurt, ABC affiliate WBRZ reported.

One thing's for sure, this truck driver will have one very corny story to tell his grandchildren someday.
